Volucella pellucens
Hoverflies (Syrphidae)

CC-BY-SA 4.0 rights : RikenMon

Large wide black hoverfly with a white edge at the front of the rear body. The wings are yellowish with a black marking halfway along.

Its size makes it look like a bumblebee. Larvae develop in wasp nests where they have a constant temperature and humidity, feeding on the wasps’ left-overs. As adults, they feed on nectar and tree sap.
